TTC closing Exhibition Loop, January 3

Update — Friday, January 20, 2017, 6:47 a.m.: Starting 6 a.m. today, the TTC again extends the route for buses operating along the 511Bathurst route into Exhibition Place, instead of starting and ending trips in Princes’ Gate Loop. Construction in Exhibition Loop and the TTC detours continue until March 25. Buses and streetcars resume service into the loop starting Sunday, March 26.

Update — Sunday, November 20, 12:21 a.m.: Starting today, the TTC replaces streetcars with buses along the 511Bathurst route. The buses operate to and from Princes’ Gate Loop, instead of Fleet Loop, replacing the need for the temporary shuttle buses.

Update — Friday, September 23, 5:34 a.m.: Due to the large number of events in Exhibition Place, starting Tuesday, September 27, the TTC is detouring all buses and streetcars serving the area until January 20, 2017.

Update — Friday, July 29, 6:24 a.m.: Starting Sunday, July 31, the TTC resumes streetcars along the 511Bathurst route between Bathurst Station and Fleet Loop. Shuttle buses again operate between Exhibition and Fleet Loops.

The TTC will temporarily restore regular bus and streetcar service to Exhibition Loop from Monday, August 15 until Labour Day, Monday, September 5 during the Canadian National Exhibition. Construction in Exhibition Loop resumes Tuesday, September 6 and continues until December 31.

The buses start and end their trips in Exhibition Place, instead of Fleet Loop, looping on-street, instead of in Exhibition Loop. 509 / 511 Harbourfront / Bathurst shuttle bus service is no longer necessary, so the TTC is canceling the temporary route. Streetcars operating along the 509 Harbourfront route continue to start and end their trips in Fleet Loop.

Buses operating along the 310 Bathurst overnight and 363 Ossington overnight routes also resume service through Exhibition Place.

The TTC and Metrolinx are working together to rehabilitate the TTC’s Exhibition Loop and the eastbound platform at GO Transit’s Exhibition GO Station. Work on the projects requires the TTC to close the streetcar loop, starting Sunday, January 3.

Contractors are:

rehabilitating concrete on both TTC and GO properties;

replacing the retaining wall with a new barrier wall that separates the two properties; and

replacing streetcar tracks.

(The retaining wall is about 100 years old.)

While the loop is closed, the TTC is detouring service along these streetcar and bus routes:

Shuttle buses replace streetcar service along Fleet Street, operating between Exhibition Place and Bathurst Street.
